“Taylor always takes the best care of our doggo! She's great with timeliness and communication. She's also wonderful with her updates/pictures during longer stays.”
“Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”
“Susan and her family took amazing care of our dog! It was the first time we took a weekend trip without him, but the care that Susan and her family gave him made it worry free. We got updates and pictures of him having the time of his life at the park, taking walks, and playing with the other dogs boarding for the weekend. He’s not used to kids but the whole family was great with him which made it so much easier for us to know he was being loved and cared for while we were gone. We will 100% be using them next time we need to board our dog and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, caring host for doggy day care or boarding!”
“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”
“This was the first time boarding our dog and this family was amazing. From the moment we met, I had nothing but good vibes and felt incredibly at ease. The updates and pictures were great and they were so communicative. We will be rebooking for sure!!!”
“Rachel kept our doggies on our wedding weekend and even brought them out to the venue so we could see them on the day of the wedding! She’s an amazing dog sitter.”
“Trent was so great- sent me updates and photos on the pups over thanksgiving break that he watched them. I was running late for pickup and so nice about being accommodating. Highly recommend Trent to watch or walk your pups!!! Will definitely book with him again.”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”

“Ashley D was amazing for Bentley. A no kennel option was the only way for us and Bentley slept peacefully in a home with other playmates and a great dog sitter. This was the first time I had used Rover and despite user error on my part, Ashley was so kind and patient with me learning the platform!”
“Rachel is excellent. Communication was quick, consistent, and very detailed. I loved her sweet updates and knowing my lil guy was in good hands. We had a canceled flight that resulted in an unexpected delay in our planned pick up. Rachel was extremely kind and able to accommodate us in our time of need. She is absolutely great!”

“I've used Rover multiple times and everyone has been good, but Sarah is seriously THE BEST!!! She's so attentive because she's also a dog mom, and our dogs (1 elderly and a 2 yr old) both had the best doggy vacation ever! She's got the best setup and they got plenty of play time, and rest. I'd definitely recommend her, and we will use her again for sure!”

“Since Griffin works from home he was able to provide our pup with the human company he is used to at home. This was important for me. Griffin’s little dog was happy to share space with ours. Easy access to play in the fenced in backyard was especially nice on sunny days. Willy was well-cared for during his stay in Griffin’s home.”
“Olga took such great care of Rooroo! She took him on frequent walks and let him enjoy the sunshine. He can’t walk too far due to his age so she gave him lots of breaks and he seemed so happy! Thanks for taking great care of him!”

I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and adapting to each cat’s unique personality.
“I really appreciated Evelyn's flexibility with this booking. The nature of this trip meant that my exact return time was a moving target, and Evie was communicative, adaptive, and helpful in making sure there was no interruption in Pippa's care, which was a huge aid to me in a time of stress.”

“We just needed a few hours for our dog to have a chill place Tonga g while we did some sight seeing. Trent and Kalyn were awesome: easy to communicate with and made sure our dog got time to exercise, went for a walk, rested, and was freshly pottied before picking her up.”
“This was our first time using Christine for doggy daycare and I couldn’t be happier! She’s extremely communicative — sending thoughtful updates and pictures throughout my shift — which really put my mind at ease. Christine went above and beyond to make buddy and I feel comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful experience. Highly recommend!”
“Here's a review you can use: Brent did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Winnie, while I was on vacation. Knowing that Winnie was in good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. Brent provided regular updates throughout the week, which gave me great peace of mind. It was like a home away from home for Winnie. I will definitely be using Brent again in the future!”
About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for over a couple years for friends and family and I can’t wait to do more for the community. I love all animals and treat them like family. I’m excited to meet more furry friends! I’m currently a medical student at UAMS. I usually just stay at home and study. I’ll have plenty of time to go on walks, dog parks, and much more! I have a back yard and a smoke free home to keep your furry friend company whenever needs be. I can adapt to your needs as long as we communicate and work through it!
“Rachel was awesome! She answered my request fast, and accommodated watching my dog on very short notice. She sent me pictures right away, was communicative and super sweet. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Ron did a great job accommodating my 10 month old standard poodle who can have a lot of energy at times. The other two dogs that we're also staying for day care on this day were a great match for Link. It is obvious that Ron loves the company of dogs and I plan on having Link visit him for daycare each week! Link came home happy, well cared for, and calm.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”
“Couldn’t be a better first time Rover experience! Clover had a great day and Allison was awesome in communicating and 6:20 am pick up sure made my day easier. Will use again! 10/10”
About: As a devoted pet sitter, my passion for animals shines through in every aspect of my care. What sets me apart is not just my extensive experience, but also my genuine love for our furry companions. Having recently raised and trained a puppy of my own, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of puppyhood. I bring this expertise to my pet sitting services, offering tailored sessions to help your young pup learn and grow into a well-behaved companion. Dogs have been a consistent part of my life, bringing endless happiness and companionship. From the energetic playtimes to the quiet moments of cuddling, I cherish every interaction with these loyal friends. It's not just a job for me; it's a privilege to be entrusted with the care of your beloved pets. My approach to pet sitting is rooted in empathy, patience, and understanding. I take the time to build trust and rapport with each animal, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my presence. Whether it's a rambunctious puppy or a wise old senior, I delight in being their friend and providing the companionship and care they deserve. With a genuine love for animals and a wealth of experience, I am dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of your furry family members. Having flexibility in my schedule as a full-time student at the University of Missouri - Kansas City allows me to prioritize the well-being of your pets without any scheduling conflicts. With my academic responsibilities well managed, I can dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your furry companions. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or late-night cuddles, I can accommodate your pet's needs at any time of the day. My flexibility extends to weekends and holidays, ensuring that your pets receive consistent care and companionship whenever you need it. Responsibility is at the core of my pet care philosophy. I understand the importance of reliability and consistency when it comes to caring for animals. You can trust that I will prioritize the needs of your pets, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and loved just as you would do yourself. By entrusting your pets to me, you can have peace of mind knowing that they are in capable and caring hands. I am committed to providing the highest standard of care while you focus on your studies or other obligations. Your pets will receive the attention and affection they deserve, allowing them to thrive in your absence. Ensuring safety, building trust, and providing a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it's in my own home or in the client's home. Here's how I approach pet care in each setting: In My Home: Pet-Proof Environment: My home is carefully pet-proofed to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all animals. This includes securing hazardous items, installing pet gates, and providing designated areas for play and relaxation. Supervision: I provide constant supervision when pets are in my home, minimizing any potential risks and addressing their needs promptly. Whether it's mealtime, playtime, or nap time, I'm always present to ensure their well-being. Comfort: I prioritize the comfort of visiting pets by providing cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and a calm environment for relaxation. I tailor the experience to meet the individual needs and preferences of each pet, ensuring they feel at home during their stay. In Client's Home: Trust Building: Establishing trust with pets is essential in a new environment. I take the time to bond with each animal, respecting their boundaries and earning their trust through gentle interactions, positive reinforcement, and consistent care. Routine Maintenance: I adhere to the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication administration. Consistency is key to minimizing stress and promoting a sense of security for pets in their own home. Communication: Regular communication with pet owners is vital to ensure peace of mind. I provide updates, photos, and detailed reports on the pet's well-being and activities, keeping owners informed and involved in their pet's care even while they're away. Whether in my own home or a client's home, my approach to pet care is centered on creating a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment where pets can thrive and feel loved.
About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors animals since a young age. I have grown up around animals because of living on a farm. I only work 3 days a week, so have availability on my off days. I would love to fill those off days with caring for your animal. I am experienced with dog walking with dogs either knowing how to heel or those that pull. I am comfortable with keeping animals safe on walks and during play.
About: I have had dogs almost all my life. From as early as I can remember I have enjoyed the character of dogs and how they interact with the world around them. Curious, loving, direct, playful, and led by natural instincts. I am a certified professional dog groomer that also offers these additional services to include well rounded pet care. I currently do work at home and can be pretty flexible with scheduling. I can take new appointments within a day or two. I prefer three days notice to cancel but handle all situations case by case. When caring for a beloved four-legged fur baby I treat them with the love I show my own pet companion with kindness, love, compassion, and comfort. I typically allow pets on my furniture and interact with them throughout the day. I enjoy walking with and having playtime in the yard or at a nearby dog park. If there is a more structured environment that you prefer with your dog that can almost always be accommodated.
“Lauren was so wonderful to my baby Astro! He came home super tired. I don’t think he even missed me because of how much fun he had with her and her dog! Overall a great experience we will definitely be back!”

“Samantha is truly amazing! My little morkie is a very opinionated old pup and Samantha has been so patient and sweet with him. I will never use anyone else!”
About: We are both fully remote tech workers, with tons of flexibility to take your pets on walks, tire them out with playtime, or just hang out! And when it comes to your walker/sitter - two is better than one! Since we do all our Meet and Greets together, we both will learn the ins and outs of caring for your pet. After our beloved dog, Rufus, passed away, Rover is our outlet to get our dog fix in. We both have experience with senior pets and are comfortable following special instructions and giving medications. We're also comfortable caring for cats of any disposition, whether cuddly or cranky! Both of our schedules are extremely flexible! We can schedule dog walks and playtimes for mornings, afternoons, and evenings with no issue. We walk the Riverfront Heritage trail daily anyway, and would love to bring your dog with me for company! We're also down to keep it low key and hang out to keep your dog or cat company while working or reading a book. We try to do all of our walks together but if one of us is held up in a meeting or feeling unwell, the other can always take over solo! We are focusing on drop-ins and walks for now. We keep all dogs securely on-leash and avoid interactions with other animals. Depending on your pet's physical needs, we are okay with more frequent short outings or longer, intense jogging exercise sessions. We will follow your usual outing, feeding, and crating schedule in order to keep your pet's routine consistent.

I have plenty of experience so your pet will be very well taken care of I work on Ward Parkway at Burns & McDonnell. I have every other Friday off as well as the weekends. I usually work 6:30-4:30 and work from home 1 day a week. Anything after work or any time during the days where I work from home or don’t work fit into my schedule perfectly! I always try to play with them when they want to if I’m not too busy and like to walk/play with them before leaving them alone so they’re tired and don’t have too much energy when they’re home alone
“Jessica did a great job taking care of our two dogs over the course of two days. House was well taken care of and the dogs were happy. Great experience.”
About: Hi!! My name is Alyssa, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter in the Kansas City area! I have experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any specific needs your pet may have. I also have hands-on experience caring for my diabetic cat, including administering insulin injections and monitoring routines. Because of this, I’m comfortable supporting pets with medical needs and understand the importance of consistency, timing, and gentle handling. Outside of pet sitting, I work in the counseling field supporting children and families, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in all situations, these skills I bring into caring for your pets as well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am getting my master’s, so I have some evening classes, but I am still able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. Because of my schedule, I’m able to prioritize your pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medical needs like medications or insulin injections. I do my best to be reliable, on-time, and responsive to messages. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections, and understand the importance of consistency and careful monitoring. In your home, I am respectful of your space and ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or shy pets, and adjust my approach to meet their needs. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels cared for and you feel confident they’re in good hands.

Also I frequent dog parks to get my Golden’s energy out and would be happy to take your dog(s) as well. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! I love to go on walks in the morning/early evening and spend time cuddling on the couch. What ever your dog needs, I’m available to serve! I am searching for jobs so I am on my computer at home for 2-3 hours a day, perfect for nap time. I have a very pet friendly home so the more the merrier!

I kennel other pets during pickups and drop-offs, and all pets eat separately to prevent any conflicts.
About: Hi! I'm Brooklyn, and I've been around dogs my entire life. I've cared for my own Bulldog and Pitbull/Mastiff mix, giving me experience with both strong, energetic dogs and more relaxed companions. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some exercise, or just a little extra love and attention while you're away, I'll treat them like one of my own. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in great hands! I'm available for dog walking on weekends and enjoy spending my free time outdoors. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or some fresh air and attention while you're busy, I'd love to help. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and flexible so both you and your dog have a great experience. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks, I'll always keep your dog securely leashed, follow any instructions you provide, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I'm experienced with larger breeds and understand the importance of staying alert, using proper leash handling, and ensuring every walk is both safe and enjoyable. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.
About: Hi! My name is Briah, I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I obtained an animal science degree with an emphasis on companion animal care. I also have 5 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant in local clinics, as I’ve recently transitioned careers I miss seeing furry friends on a daily basis. Unfortunately I don’t have pets of my own at this time, but I would love to help care for yours! I currently work from home 3 days a week, and spend most of my time at home on the weekends. I am able to provide walks and ear scratches throughout the day. I do not have any pets of my own in my home, I live in an apartment with a park conveniently located right out front for walks.
“Theresa is absolutely wonderful. She was so flexible in the time we needed her due to our game being delayed. She kept us up to date about the pets with severe weather in the area. Amazing!!!!”
“Jessica is great with our two huskies! Very punctual and professional. We also loved the updates and photos sent after their walk. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up with a lab/pitbull mix, and have lived with other big dogs. I get along with all puppies, and am down to lounge with them, walk them, or play! I am a remote worker, so I plan to walk dogs on my lunch break (approximately 12 PM - 1 PM). I can also check in on dogs and feed them as needed. I always make sure they have food and water, and feel safe in their environment. I’m not one to push a dog out of their comfort zone, but I will always approach your puppy with kindness and consideration.
About: Hey! I’m Brendan. I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently live in downtown Kansas City with my two best friends, Malakai, an 8 year old Siberian Husky, and O’Malley, a 3 year old Frenchie, so I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller companion breeds. I work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My dogs already keep me active with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day, so adding another furry friend to the mix feels pretty seamless. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule during both weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I live in a pet friendly apartment downtown with plenty of walking areas nearby, and my two dogs are both very social and friendly with other dogs. I’m also comfortable crating your dog if preferred or following any routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you already have in place to help them feel at home.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered in the past, and continue to care for my friend’s pets while they are away. I am open to house-sit, drop in, or go on however long of a walk your best friend needs. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets in their own homes, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments - cuddlers, partiers, grouches, and loungers all deserve love! I can’t wait to spend time with your best friend and give you peace of mind. I work full time, but work from home Mondays and Fridays. Currently I could do drop-ins and walks anytime Fridays through Mondays. For Tuesday through Thursday, I would only be available early morning and evening. I’m available any day for house sitting stays which includes overnight care in your home with evening and morning routines. We can discuss if midday drop-in or walk are needed on the days i’m in the office. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, play/potty time, and quick updates. Walks include a 30-minute walk at your dog’s usual pace, leash handling, water refill if needed, and notes to the owner. If your dog needs longer than 30 minutes, Incan also do a longer walk for an hour. I make a point to ensure pets are following their schedules and any training they are working on. I always make sure to double check any needs/wants with the owner, to make sure pets are at their most comfortable. Let me know how your pet thrives in their environment, the more details the better! I will keep you updated on anything you specifically ask, or of any questions I might have that will help me get to know your pet better.

I look forward to meeting you all and your pets! I currently work full time during the week but free in the evenings. I am available during the week after 4p and anytime on the weekends. I currently live in an apartment so if pets stayed with me, they would need to be comfortable with cats and quiet due to apt living. I am comfortable coming to your house and looking after dogs or cats.

“Susan and her family took amazing care of our dog! It was the first time we took a weekend trip without him, but the care that Susan and her family gave him made it worry free. We got updates and pictures of him having the time of his life at the park, taking walks, and playing with the other dogs boarding for the weekend. He’s not used to kids but the whole family was great with him which made it so much easier for us to know he was being loved and cared for while we were gone. We will 100% be using them next time we need to board our dog and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, caring host for doggy day care or boarding!”

“Ashley D was amazing for Bentley. A no kennel option was the only way for us and Bentley slept peacefully in a home with other playmates and a great dog sitter. This was the first time I had used Rover and despite user error on my part, Ashley was so kind and patient with me learning the platform!”
“Rachel is excellent. Communication was quick, consistent, and very detailed. I loved her sweet updates and knowing my lil guy was in good hands. We had a canceled flight that resulted in an unexpected delay in our planned pick up. Rachel was extremely kind and able to accommodate us in our time of need. She is absolutely great!”
“Brittany is great, very responsive and My dog is always well cared for. He gets lots of outdoor time and is a happy pup upon return. She’s one of my favorite Rovers and we are repeat customers. Big fan!”
“Laurie has been doing drop-in visits for us for a while but recently took my dog for several nights of boarding. JoJo is a senior dog with some anxiety that can require extra attention (and a healthy dose of patience). Laurie communicated with me throughout the stay about how things were going, and even threw in some additional remedies of her own to help JoJo get settled in. You can tell she is invested in your pet's well being and provides quality care.”
“Brandi and her husband were wonderful to interact with. She did her best to assuage my guilt for leaving my beloved dogs for a week, sent a lot of photos about their fun experiences and even provides some much needed training (to the dogs and me). Because Brandi had known Feliz when he was at KCPP, she was able to fill in his back story for me. That is priceless. She's wonderful to work with, cares passionately about the care she provides and does a stellar job. I hope that if I need to board my babies again, she'd be willing to work with us.”
About: Things I love: working out, basketball, Jesus, traveling, cooking, coffee, public education, and DOGS! I have lived in KC for 10 years and finally got my puppy, Lola, in May of 2025! 🐶 I work during the days Monday - Friday, but my schedule is more flexible during the summer months. I am available most evenings and weekends! I live downtown in a condo on the first floor. There is a grassy area right outside my back door. I am close to dog parks and enjoy going for walks around my neighborhood.
“First time using Christine and it was a great experience. Communication was easy and consistent, and our dogs seemed happy and comfortable when we got home. Everything went smoothly and we felt good knowing they were well cared for. We’d definitely use Christine again.”
“Trisha took great care of my dog. He had a last minute issue and needed extra care and she not only still took him in she did a great job tending to him and keeping me updated though out the weekend”
About: I grew up raising and caring for dogs, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, training, grooming, and understanding different breeds’ behaviors, needs, and personalities in a loving, responsible environment. I am available during the day but I work from 1a-11a . Please note that my children may also be present at my home during the stay. I will get the extra accessories I need , due to me not having a fenced in yard,such as a leash, a harness, and toys if not provided ! I will ensure to keep your fur babies entertained!
